The Sherlock Home: Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we had all kinds of visitors. A while back, Cory and Rachel decided they would use the long weekend to come visit Kinley for the first time. We didn't know we would be visiting La Vernia so soon, so they actually got to meet Kinley sooner than they thought. Brent also had a 3 day weekend, so he decided to come down, too, and Todd lives close, so he came over as well. We spent a lot of time hanging around the house, just visiting. Emily LOVED baby Kinley and pretty much wanted to be wherever she was. We enjoyed a bunch of good food, and sitting around chatting.
On Sunday, my best friend was having a pool party/BBQ, so we all headed over there. The food was fantastic. I didn't swim, so I could take care of Kinley, but everyone else did. This weekend, I suspected Kinley was starting to get sick, so I was pretty worried about her. She had been having diarrhea most of the weekend, and just wasn't eating well. I was getting different opinions about what could be wrong, but I just knew something wasn't quite right with her.
Regardless, we had a lot of fun, and enjoyed having so much family in town. It was a lot of fun to interact with Emily. She's so chatty now, and that's enjoyable. I can't wait to enjoy Kinley's personality the same way (although I love the sweet little cuddlebug I have right now). I know that raising our daughter will constantly be a mix of loving to see what stage comes next, but also nostalgic about the things that have passed. I'm sure that never changes!
Below are some pictures from the weekend.

Cooper by the pool

Rachel bought the girls some mathching dresses, and we tried our first "photo shoot" of the cousins. Kinley isn't a very cooperative subject yet, so it was hit or miss.
